mains of ex-Vice President Wheeler

Church, every available footOf spa ce

All the business places were closed at
noon for the remainder of the day.
The body remained at the house until
this morning, when at 10 o'clock, after
prayer, it was moved to the vestibule
of the church, where it laid in state
and was viewed until l O'Clock. The
pall-bearers were: D. w. Lawrence,

A. Short, Thomas r. Kane and J. j.
Seaver, old and life long friends of Mr..
Wheeler. The auditorium is beauti-
fully draped with profusion of Grape

One of the striking attractions of S.

Shows, which exhibit here on Wednes-

played by the herd of trained elephants.
They appear in intricate military drills,
perform musical acts, whirl in may
waltZes, form towering pyramids and
do numerous other amazing feats.
This perfection has only been attained
after years of hard, unremittingi work
on the part of the trainer, Prof. George

gentleman. The two leading elephant

Root and shoe ConveD,Ion.

BOSTON, June 7.-SeVeral hundred
delegates to the Boot and Shoe Work
ers convention in Brockton, arrived
here yesterday. The feeling is general
that a national organization is nee
essary and that the entire control of
their affairs should be in their own
hands, independent of the knights
of Labor. The only ques-
ton is as to the ability
of the present convention to secure a
national trades charter from the exec
utive board. M. J. TOgarty, master
workman, said he thought that the
convention means uniting of all the
the various organizations of the craft.
A member of the executive board,
when approached on the subject, said
he seemed to think that
there would not be any difficulty in OBJ
tanning National Trades charter from
the general executive board. Howard
Fyatt delegate of New York assembly
and proxy for 10000 cutters and 5000
girls said, 1--WE must have a change of
some kind before long in the organiza-
tion of ShOemakers or the knights of

An AppeaI From Davsts

NEW YORK, June THE following
appeal from Michael Davitt has been
cabled to John Fitzgerald, President
of the Irish National League in Amer
lea, Patrick Ford and John Boyle
O'Reilly:
Scariff, County Clare, June z, 1887.
The work of eXterminating our race is
going on daily. The people are con-
testing every inch of ground with spirit.
Their resistance is admirable, but the
odds are terribly against them. The
Tory policy of eviction and forced en-
igration we must resent as one man.
The workingmen in America in their
own interest should protest against
this pauper labor being forced upon
their market. would suggest that q
deputation of the friends of our cause
and the Knights of Labor wait upon
the President of the United States anG
invite his attention to England's
policy in driving thousands of oul
people every week from Ireland to the
states. Humanity and enlightened
self interest unite in urging America
to take action in this manner. We
want means to succor the evicted, and
make some small recompense to the
imprisoned who sacrifice their liberty
in resistance to injustice. Bodyke is
fighting the battle of Ireland.

from border counties of Missouri and
Iowa. The two men were evidently
movers travelling together in common
wagon. The following is fair des-
cription of the murdered man:
He was a man of apparently 35 years
of age; about feet inches in height,
weight $50 pounds, heavy build, and
full face; wore reddish moustac he,
rather long and heavy, and short goatee
or imperial; rest of face recently
shaved; head very much bald, hair
only on lower part of scalp, running up
towards temples; large blue eyes and
good natural teeth. He had on when
found good pair of pants and vest of
dark wooden material, checked shirt,
good cotton undertaking, and an al
most new pair of medium high top boots.
The front of the tops were of red
leather, and on each of them was
crescent worked in light coIored ma
terial.

NEW YORK, June $50 small were
two boys who were arraigned at the
Tombs police court to-day that the
magistrate was obliged to rise from his
seat and lean over his desk to see them.
They were John Meehan and William

respectively. They were charged with
murder when on their way
home from school. The boys
met an aged Italian, Louise Maskrop-
tro, at the Corner of Grand and Mott
streets. William pushed John against
the man who fell. He got up and
moved away but the boys stoned and
jostled him until he fell again fractur-
ing his skull. The old man was taken
to a hospital where he died, and the
youngsters are to be tried for his muir
